additional debt can Impi issue this year
and still receive the benefit of the interest

of EBIT under the TCJA.)
Company B currently has $25 million in debt outstanding. In addition to 9.0% interest, it plans to repay 6% of the remaining balance each year. If Company B has a marginal corporate tax rate of 38%, and if the interest tax shields have the same risk as the loan, what is the present value of the interest tax shield from the debt?
If a firm borrows $50 million for one year at an interest rate of 9 percent, what is the present value of the interest tax shield? Assume a 21 percent marginal corporate tax rate.
